Does this have any benefit over just using friction to convert the rotation into heat? I suppose it would suffer less wear, but it also seems way more expensive.
Why did they put that button in such an annoying spot to press? If you're going to add a pointless button at least put it on the thumb side, like almost every other mouse in existence.
As an actual human, can confirm I use my human fingertips to press the upvote button on the posts and comments I enjoy.
This. The way I think of it, if data isn't backed up, that data doesn't really exist. At a bare minimum, keep important data backed up in two separate locations. Ideally you should follow the 3-2-1 backup rule (a main drive, backup drive, and cloud backup fulfill the requirements).
To be fair, some types of glass are very good at handling rapid temperature changes, at least in the range you'd find cooking. Why they wouldn't use that glass is beyond me.
Not sure how well that would work at orbital velocity, unfortunately. At least the ground would get a nice fireworks show!
I think that would be the current amount of water. Any water loss (or water gain for that matter) is going to cause massive problems worldwide.
Yeah I recently picked up a Pixel 6 Pro and the fingerprint reader works well. You do need to press down somewhat firmly sometimes, maybe people aren't and that's why they're having issues?
“Rain bombs” such as Invest 90L are products of our hotter world; warmer air has more room between its molecules for moisture.
Lmao, did nobody review this?
Even better, use an AI to generate the misinformation to save you time (and get even dumber misinformation).
Don't waste your money. If the data is really important, send the disk to a data recovery service to avoid risking further damage. If it's only somewhat important, use a (free!) tool like ddrescue to attempt to recover the data.
That's definitely possible, but is way more expensive than using an existing system like GPS.
It's not really relevant, just a comparison to show how little energy that few kilojoules is.
It likely only takes a few kilojoules to etch each avocado which is essentially nothing (for comparison, an avocado has around a megajoule of energy).
I think the last two are more general, just cryptocurrency and generative AI respectively.
I'm not sure what you're talking about in that case, could you clarify?
I'm not sure about that, plutonium-239 has a half-life of 24k years and uranium-235's is far longer.
Then again, theres about 13 undiscovered, lost, still armed nuclear bombs that the Americans lost in test drops. Mostly dropped into oceans, they've been deteriorating away for 70ish years. Wherever they are an earthquake could set them off. Maybe an aggressive shark. The point is, there are 13 points which we KNOW at some point, will set off a WWII era atomic bomb. This will have an unknown outcome, 13 different times. Any one of which might end Earth. Or maybe it causes some tidal waves. No one knows.
This is completely wrong. Lost nuclear bombs are not going to be functional in the slightest after decades, as they require very precisely timed detonation of explosive charges to actually trigger the main fission reaction. They're not like chemical bombs, which will explode with enough heat or pressure. And after decades the circuitry to control the explosive charges will be long dead.
